Drivers are the software that makes the operating system to communicate with the 
hardware.  For example, to install a network card in any system,  one needs the drivers 
that are specifically written for that operating system.

      What is an IP address?
 
 
IP addresses are addresses that identify each node on the Internet.  These addresses are 
either assigned by a network administrator or received from a DHCP server.  Each IP 
address is comprised of 4 octets or 32 bits (IPv4).

What are class A, B, and C IP addresses? 
 
Class A IP addresses are IP addresses which the first octet is the Net ID and the 
remaining 24 bits identify the Host ID.  In class A IPs the first octet is from 1 to 126.  IN 
class B IPs, the first two octets define the Net ID and the remaining 16 bits are for host 
identification.  These addresses start from 128 to 191.  Class C addresses use the first 
three octets foe Net ID and the last 8 bits are for host identification. This range of IPs 
start from 192 to 223.

How can I network two computers? 
 
-  First thing is to identify the Operating Sytem that you are running on each system. 
-  Second is to acquire a network adapter that is supported in that operating system 
or in other words, the manufacturer has drivers for it in that OS. 
-  Third is to install the network cards on each system. 
-  Forth is to decide on whether using a direct cable between the two systems or 
using a hub/switch.  If the two systems are connected directly, a crossover cable 
must be used.  When connecting to a hub or switch, a straight through cable is 
needed.
